If I could get rid of one thing in sports...

He's got little hands.

 

Why does he have to walk out there at all?

It's a substitution. They are made in every other team sport without unnecessary delays.

 

BCS
Notre Dame's perpetual spot in the top 5 of every preseason poll, whether the Irish won 10 games the year before or just two
Chris Berman
Duplicate NASCAR races at the same tracks (like at Pocono, where the triangle track's two races are just a few short weeks apart)
The designated hitter
Artificial turf in baseball (football I can understand)
Dick Vitale
Screamin' A. Smith
Stuart Scott's litany of catch phrases
The NASCAR season having only two months of an off-season. 25 races is more than enough.
Stock cars having as much in common with the cars we drive as a F-22 Raptor compared with a Sopwith Camel
Ties in soccer and hockey
The NBA's overly long season (starts in October/November and ends in June)
Spacing out the NBA Finals where it takes seemingly weeks
Making the first round of the NBA playoffs a seven-game series rather than five
Overly long NHL season (see NBA season)
Over-specialization of pitchers in the Major Leagues
Continued overkill of coverage on Danica Patrick (smoking hot, but has ONE IRL win) and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (a decent career, but he's not a superstar by any means except in merchandise sales and sponsorships)
Coaches denying interest in a job, then taking that job a few short weeks later
John Madden, AKA Captain Obvious
Magic Johnson on TV. He is the worst NBA analyst...ever. Bring back Bill Walton, please!

 

They did?

Shows how much I've followed boxing in the last 10 years.

I don't know what was more ridiculous, a sanctioning body's Intercontinental championship (ripped off from the WWE) or the WBA having two heavyweight champions at the same time.

 

I need to add:

* Players who sit out rather than play for the team that drafted them. The team should own the rights to the player until he/she is traded, released or sold. Just be happy you're in the pros, you prima donna bitches.
* Foreign baseball players getting to bypass the draft.

 

They deserved a chance to play in the BCS championship game, for sure.

 

People who think you can call it a national FBS championship when many teams in the FBS have no chance of winning it from day 1.

Oh, bullcrap!!
So an athlete should have to be forced to play for a clueless organization like the Cincinnati Bengals or LA Clippers just because of the luck of the draw? I understand the importance of drafts for competitive balance, but organizations like this demand this sort of disrespect. It's amazing it doesn't come up more often.
